Touring out of Margaret River and Fremantle the past week in WA. Rottnest island wins the beauty contest.

All good with us. Posted from the road leading to Esk and Toogoolawah. Off to Western Australia Wednesday.

Bottle tree in Roma. Over 9 meters girth.

Highlights from the past week include rainforest hikes, Baron Falls, Kuranda, Atherton Tablelands and Mackay city walks.

Highlights for this week include Townsville, Cassowary and Crocodile sightings in the Daintree Rainforest.

The best of four cassowary sightings. This one marched out of the bush onto the trail we were walking!

Highlights for the past week: visit with Di, Pete and Bron at Cooee Bay, Lady Musgrave Island adventure, Finch Hatton Gorge and Eungella National Park. Blog pics a bit scrambled in sequence FYI. Heading further north today.

Heading back to the mainland from Lady Musgrave Island

Whale watching at Hervey Bay… jaw dropping. Got “mugged” as it’s called when a pod of whales approach the boat to investigate. This was our first tour after spending a few days with cousin Meg and Nicky at Maleny house and Maaroon cottage.
